As a Business Entity or a Sole Proprietor can I register a D.B.A. (doing business as name) with the Division?
Business must be conducted in the name on the license. However, business can be conducted under another name by means of a DBA. DBA’s are not automatically attached to a license just because they are registered with the Division of Corporations. The DBA must be submitted to DOPL as part of the application or later by filling out a “Contractor Name Change or Add a DBA” form (available on the web site under applications). The DBA must be owned by the licensee (name on contractor license) and be registered and in an active status with the Utah Division of Corporations. Once a DBA expires it can not be used by a licensee to conduct business.
